The Salt Flats
Jimmy has been wanting to do a day trip to the Bonneville Salt Flats for a long time. Yesterday was THE DAY! We drove 2 1/2 hours West and arrived at our destination.
The kids loved running around. They had salt splatters all over their backside (and Tru on his face & hat!)
It was uhh… salty. Very interesting. It was squishy and had some puddles. Sparkles everywhere in the sunshine.
We ran around for 30 minutes then headed to Wendover for lunch. 2 1/2 hours later we arrived home. The kids thought it was a fantastic adventure.
my favorite thing about reading your blog is how easily i can see life’s seasons.
you are real about the overwhelming first year of new baby.
i can feel those long, draggy months of winter, and I can feel the hope of spring and sunshine.
when i read back over my own blog posts I can feel that too… I want to shout out to myself sometimes– hold on!! spring is coming!! your babies will grow up, get healthy, potty train, and you will figure out life with more.
isn’t that what blogs/journals are for– perspective.
you have a darling family! you and jimmy are darling parents.
thanks for sharing your family with us.
enjoy your summer days– mixed with a few, completely ridiculous, summer colds.
these are the days!!
You guys are so fun! I too have wanted to see the salt flats, this post made me want to do it even more, guess we better do it super soon or wait until fall though so its not 300 degrees out there.
Ok, so I sort of thought, well, what a long drive for an outing. But you guys made it look sooo fun! And you stopped at all the signs and places we haven’t. Awesome field trip. Crazy cool family. LOVE you guys!
